Full marks to Ms. Ichha Rai and Denzong Leisure for making our trip to Sikkim a memorable one. We did North and East Sikkim during December 2018. Everything right from well drafted Itinerary, accommodations and excellent Drivers (Pasang - North Sikkim, Gurung - Eask Sikkim) were taken care by them.
Ms Ichha Rai and her Senior Sangeeta P were always reachable whenever I needed them before and during the tour. This is really appreciated. Only advice, avoid Aggregators like Banalata Homestays as I feel, they don't give the 'value for money' feeling. Bottom-line... had one of my best trip, thanks for Denzong Leisure.

Ours was an all girls trip which was planned in a short period. But our tour coordinator Ms.Iccha Rai had gotten it all covered for us. They made a very comfortable customized itinerary for us depending on our travel date and time ensuring no day gets wasted. We had a pleasant stay at the hotel and our driver/guide Mr.Binod was the best!
Very professional, kind and helpful (10 stars for him :D). We had a wonderful trekking and highfly paragliding experience as well with Oho Adventures. Totally it was a dream trip. Completely safe, comfortable and so much fun!! Definitely would recommend Denzong Leisure to anyone planning a trip to Sikkim.
